The Best EE Resources  

With the Extended Essay process getting officially started and all of us being probably kind of overwhelmed about what to do and the best way to do it, we have compiled a list of the best EE resources to make the IB student life a bit easier. A big thank you to Mrs Kirby for approving these resources! 



  1. IB Resources given to us by KIH 


First and foremost, the IB timeline and introduction, the IB workbook created by Mrs Kirby and the IB Handbook made by one of our fellow online IB students contain all the necessary info about the EE and what you need to do in order to succeed at this integral part of the IBDP. 



  1. EE at ISB 


EE at ISB, although it is a website originally made for another international school, has a ton of freely accessible EE resources. From tips regarding reflections, critical thinking skills and even a guideline called the “EE in 8 Steps” offering an insight into how you can structure your EE journey, it provides a lot that can make your life easier and less stressful. 



  1. Lanterna  


Lanterna Education, a firm specialising in IB tutoring and support, also has an abundance of EE tips and resources on their website. Especially helpful is their “Master Guide IB Extended Essay”, written by successful IB graduates.

A lot of international schools have openly accessible LibGuides online, including the American International School of Guangzhou, which has a nice collection of materials talking about everything from note taking to how to evaluate your sources.
